I said that a long time ago.. Make glass for Nikon and Canon, It is not NASA work. Leica makes a lot of money from their lenses... and survival, I think, depends on lens sales. But, they just seem non-interested... Maybe they think they can earn more selling S2 cameras at whatever 10's of thousands of dollars apiece...
